Today’s teens have a lot on their minds, and it’s not just the day-to-day stress of high school.

Survey data released today by Junior Achievement shows that teens ages 14 to 17 are worried about jobs, the economy and education. The survey, which examined teens’ views on the election, also showed that young people think the candidates aren’t focusing enough on small business and entrepreneurs.

Other findings:

Some 57 percent of teens surveyed think the candidates are more concerned with politics and winning than with listening to the needs of the people and shaping their ideas and policies accordingly.

Two out of three teens are concerned about finding a job after they complete their education (66 percent)

More teen girls than boys are worried about finding a job after completing their education (71 percent vs. 61 percent)

Though they’re still too young to vote in this election, 86 percent of teens surveyed said they would vote if they could. That compares to 64 percent of voting-age citizens who cast ballots in the 2008 election.

Take note politicians, these kids will be voting very soon, and they’re paying attention.

Losing friends on Facebook? Could be that you’re making too many irrelevant posts.

University of Colorado Denver Business School student Christopher Sibona recently surveyed more than 1,500 Facebook users on Twitter and found that the No. 1 reason for unfriending is “frequent, unimportant posts.”

“The 100th post about your favorite band is no longer interesting,” Sibona said in prepared release from CU-Denver.

The No. 2 reason people unfriend others is for posts about polarizing topics like religion and politics.
